The Day’s chairman and editor-in-chief, Richard Addis, wrote the leader for the Spring/Summer 2018 edition of

cross-party look at how to improve media literacy for young people, which is being conducted in partnership with The Day and others. “If our children

The author and journalist DD Guttenplan went to see how Holland Park secondary school in central London, and nearby Burlington Danes Academy, have

them, we’ll all be less well informed.”
